Everyone said it was windy before I arrived. We've all heard that before. I used my 12M as a trainer kite in the shallows. I tried kite loops. I put the board on my feet and messed around. I stayed on plane for 1 run. Then it got too light even for Matt to keep his 17M in the sky.

Moral of the story- Skunks are a part of life. Nobody is immune. No matter how big the kite gear, we're still going to get bitten by them sometimes.

Jean- How are the Summer weekend beach crowds at Revere? I thought about going there on Sunday in the SE wind/ low tide but I was worried that I might be a hazard to beach goers. I don't think I'm ready for a spot with swimmers and kids playing at the waters edge.

What about Ninegret Pond? I've never been there, but isn't it a lot like Wacko? By the way I was there yesterday sailing. It is amazing how some of these kiters can shred so well in very light winds. However, they have years of experience behind them.
